Re: [Vancouver] 40% off various sets at Toybox

I don't recall seeing any City. No Star Wars either. The store is just moving across the street so I'm guessing the sale was just to clear out old inventory that wasn't moving.

[Vancouver] 40% off various sets at Toybox

The Toybox store on W Broadway in Kits is moving so they discounted a bunch of their older stock. Atlantis, Prince of Persia, World Racers, Space Police, and Alien Conquest (and some other themes) were 40% off. They didn't have every set from each theme but there was a decent selection. The real win...

Re: Looking for Elrond or Luthor

If you don't work something out with Gooker, I have Elrond (Edit: I have Lex Luthor from 6862... didn't realize there was a polybag). I'm looking for Mirkwood Archers, Series 7 Rocker Girl and some other things. PM if you're interested.

Re: Steal of a Deal / Recent LEGO Purchases

If you guys feel like it is acceptable to total advantage of a good deal leaving nothing for anyone else then I will probably be reluctant to post any good deals that I find on here in the future. The forum is to help people find deals. Its up to individuals as to what to do with this knowledge. If...

Re: Box Condition- How much does it matter when selling/trad

Obviously the most important thing is to be clear and explicit about the damage when attempting to trade/sell. Beyond that I would just expect prospective buyers to use it as a bargaining tool to get more value. I doubt many people would buy/trade for damaged boxes as investments so I wouldn't expec...

Re: (Canada) - Walmart Clearance YMMV

Walmart in South Surrey, BC had CMF S9 minifigures for $1 each, probably none left now... This is the kind of deal that needs to be reported via smartphone immediately! :eek: Thats a crazy deal; I would've cleared the shelf. Just for clarification though, when did you see this and how many were lef...

Re: Wanted- lots of collectable minifigs

Would've been interested in the Gladiator but when I went back to my box, turns out I only have my own hockey player, no extras :(

What are you extras at this point? I believe I have an unsealed hockey player if you've got something I'm after.

Re: Weight differences in sets?

I bought a scale that weighs to the 100th of a gram for CMF sorting. It is almost a waste because the same figure can vary up to half a gram while still in package. I didn't try to break it down from there because the point was to sort without opening and the dot method isn't always viable. There i...

Re: Chapters Cyber Sale: Series 7 MF b2g2

Finally got around to checking my order of 40. Geez, thought I'd be guaranteed a full set by ordering 40. Just missing the Rocker Girl. Probability is hard and oftern counter-intuitive. I screwed up with that a lot back in uni. Hopefully I got it right for this particular one: If there are 16 diffe...
